Erika O Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2022
R483.00
Sourced from old, dry-land bush vines rooted deeply in Malmesbury shale, this wine tells a story of resilience. The rich, clay-underlaid soils of the Agter-Paarl valley imbue the fruit with a concentrated heritage character, offering a complex palate with the poise and longevity typical of these unirrigated sites.

Description
“I have always maintained the following ingredients are essential in the art of crafting a fine wine: true terroir, balance, honesty, and a light touch. They tell a rich and deeply fascinating story of a time, a place and a maker. Please enjoy the wines as much as I relish the extraordinary soul journey they have taken me on.” – Erika Obermeyer
